Full Job Description
ABOUT US Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar. Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes. 1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview. We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law. Joining Legora means three things. - We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions. - We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback. - We grow together: as a team and with our customers. Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts. If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place. About the role We've grown from 40 to 400 people in under a year, closed a $550M Series D at a $5.55B valuation, and we're scaling fast across the U.S. and globally. As we grow, getting our internal controls, risk frameworks, and governance infrastructure right isn't optional — it's foundational. We're looking for a Director of Internal Audit to build and lead this function at Legora. You'll establish the audit program from the ground up, work closely with our CFO and Audit Committee, and be the person who makes sure we're operating with the integrity and rigor that our scale demands. This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments
